Russia literally did everything possible to try and avoid this conflict for 8 years prior.

War is a business for everyone not just for the US. World leaders seek money and wealth and war grants it

The difference is that the military industrial complex in the west is privately owned, which creates the perverse incentive for profit from war. Meanwhile, Russian military industry is predominantly state owned and operating it is a cost for the state.

You don't have to chose one. Side with people and not with the rulers

Nowhere did I say that you have to choose one. Russia is a capitalist state that mirrors the west in many of the worst ways. However, it's a well documented fact that Russia did in fact try to avoid this war.
